When I received an invitation from SAA to the final of the World Cup Rugby at Ellis Park, I was really not sure if it was worth travelling 16 hours to see a I 1/2 hour match that I could probably see much better in my own living room!!! Luckily my gut feeling got the better of me, I suppose, and Tm now in the plane on my way home after participating in a "Great Historical" sports event. Only by being there could one really feel the fantastic atmosphere and experience what the New South Africa really means." The excitement could be felt throughout the city with thousands of fans making their way to the ground all dressed up in crazy hats carrying flags of all sizes (only the New South African flag of course!). There were stands on street corners "painting" the new flag on people's faces, and, of course, folks gathered around their traditional "Braaivleis" drinking and smiling. Inside the ground the 70,000 crowd were wildly excited as they greeted the two teams who took to the field. To hear 70,000 people shouting "Nelson, Nelson" as that great man entered what was formerly the bastion and stronghold of white South African supremacy, is a moment never to be forgotten.

    News of Terrorism and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (May 30 – June 5, 2018)

    רמה כ ז מל ו תשר מה ו ד י ע י ן ה ש ל מ ( למ מ" ) News of Terrorism and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (May 30 – June 5, 2018) Overview This past week events focused on two rounds of rocket fire attacking Israel, during which more than 150 rockets and mortar shells were fired, a quantity unprecedented since Operation Protective Edge. The first round was initiated by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in retaliation for the death of three of its operatives, and was joined by Hamas. The second round was apparently carried out by a Fatah faction, in ITIC assessment while Hamas turned a blind eye. At the same time, the violent "popular" activities continue, including damage to the security fence, attempts to penetrate Israeli territory and destroy equipment. Incendiary kites continue causing extensive damage to crops in the western Negev and to local forests and nature reserves. The Israeli prime minister announced he would instruct Israel's National Security Council to deduct the cost of the damages to the farmers from the tax money collected by Israel and paid to the Palestinian Authority (PA). This past week a kite was flown into Israel carrying an IED. It fell near the fence in the Kerem Shalom area. The IED did not explode. The Naksa Day events on June 5 did not attract many participants and there were no exceptional events, with the exception of the continuing flying of incendiary kites. The kites caused nine simultaneous fires in the communities near the Gaza Strip (Ynet, June 5, 2018).

Steffenson November 2016 © Shuyi Huang 2016 Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to my mentor and major advisor, Dr. Brian Steffenson, for all his guidance, support, patience, and encouragement throughout my study at University of Minnesota. I am grateful to Dr. Steffenson for sharing his knowledge of plant pathology, providing insight into this thesis, and leading me to the fascinating and meaningful world of crop improvement and research. My grateful appreciation also goes to Dr. James Kolmer and Dr. James Anderson, who served on my thesis committee. Dr. Kolmer and Dr. Anderson provided their helpful advice and guidance during my graduate work and a critical review of my thesis. From all of these individuals, I have gained the knowledge and experience to be a good and independent scientist. I extend my gratitude to Dr. Xianming Chen (USDA-ARS) at Pullman, Washington for providing the materials and guidance for working with the stripe rust pathogen. Dr. Hanan Sela and Dr. Eitan Millet of the Institute for Cereal Crops Improvement at Tel Aviv University (ICCI-TAU) generously shared their extensive knowledge about Aegilops longissima with me. I thank the ICCI-TAU in Tel Aviv, Israel and Leibniz-Institute für Pflanzengenetik und Kulturpflanzenforschung (IPK) in Gatersleben Germany for providing the Ae. longissima germplasm that made this project possible.
